A Student's View of The Minster Centre

"As a student at the Minster Centre, I am expected to
develop my own integration of a range of therapeutic models, practice
and life experience. I found this very hard at first. But I found
that the process of integration is an ongoing one, a way of living,
learning and re-learning that I expect will continue for the rest
of my life.

It is also a very personal process, sometimes
quite scary, which asks that I find the courage to expand my awareness
and open myself to new ways of experiencing. I have therefore found
the training programme to be emotionally, intellectually, even physically
demanding at times.

More than anything else, being part of a supportive community of fellow
students and staff at the Minster Centre has helped me to face these
challenges and all of its rewards, rather than in isolation. The close
emotional relationships I have developed with other students over the
course of the training have been the most important of all my learning
experiences at the Minster Centre."
